CALL FOR PAPERS: LATE ANTIQUITY

CALL FOR PAPERS: LATE ANTIQUITY The Society for Late
Antiquity will be sponsoring three sessions at the International Medieval
Studies Congress, May 13-16, 2010, at Western Michigan University in
Kalamazoo,
Mich. As in the past, topics are open. One-page abstracts for 15-minute papers
are invited relating to the history, literature, religion, art, archaeology,
culture, and society of Late Antiquity (that is, the European, North African,
and Western Asian world ca. 250-750). Attention should be given to how the
paper relates to Late Antiquity as a discrete period with its own individual
characteristics. Abstracts may be forwarded, preferably by e-mail, to Ralph
Mathisen at ralphwm@illinois.edu.and ruricius@msn.com. Deadline for receipt of
abstracts is September 15, 2010. Please note that with the exception of a few
awards (information available from conference organizers at
http://www.wmich.edu/ medieval/congress) there is no travel funding available
for participants, and that the submission of an abstract carries with
it a commitment
to attend the conference should the abstract be accepted. Thank you, and with
apologies for cross-posting, Ralph W. Mathisen Professor, History, Classics,
and Medieval Studies Department of History, Univ. of Illinois,
